Statement: We have seen too many votes from our current representative that absolutely hurt children and families. Living in Omak, I see the need to restore economic vitality to rural communities by doing the necessary economic development-work to turn around this endless recession hitting communities.

I will work to ensure public schools and the support systems around them are strong for all children. My work to turn around this economy will bring reliable private sector jobs. Together, we can reverse the gradual decline; improve our communities and our quality of life for families and the future of rural Washington.
